This has been the definition since the earliest days of computing (or at least, as soon as any computer had 1024 of anything...) This (rather stupid-sounding, in my opinion) kibibyte stuff is a much more recently introduced term, and is basically only needed for marketing people. 2^10 is a much more natural quantity of anything to have in computer terms (since the whole system is based on binary) than 10^3 is, however 10^3 is a smaller number, therefore the marketing people can tell you that the product contains more of them.
